Another doorway .... by Artie
my chapters in
history tout no
shadows but my own
even my jaded version
a bronzed patina.
Read more awesomeness here — by Eugenia
out of nowhere
awaits shaded,
visions, for those
with fairish perception,
purged of fakery and
symbolic falsehoods.
my chapters in
history tout no
shadows but my own
even my jaded version
a bronzed patina.
more comforting times
than present express
stanzas of times in
seasons –
times to embrace
times for refrain
times to purpose
peace as we stand
on the edge of time
turn, turn, turn

Brittle Promises …. by Sangeetha
Brittle promises,
riding breezily on a rice paper boat
on choppy oceans of this random universe;
Whimsy as its clumsy sail
of patchwork patterns cut out from life,
Chance as its wayward hope,
earnestly tying new born souls with tinsel.
What if tomorrow comes?
What if the gods renege?

Moment in the Sun ..
By Ken Hume
This week Reena Saxeena over at Reena’s Xploration Challenge set us the task of writing something in response to this line: “passing through a doorway in history”.Below lies my contribution, a poem titled: Moment In The Sun.
MOMENT IN THE SUN
This is our moment in the sun
When we embrace the spotlight
Or cut and run
Because it’s too bright!
This is your 15 minutes
Of fame
When we surpass our limits
And dance in the rain
Make the most of our time
Here on earth
Sing; travel; paint or rhyme
Show us what you’re worth
Because we’re just
“passing through a doorway in history”
A mere drop in the ocean of time
A twinkle in our maker’s eye
What happens next is a mystery
Which way you turn
When you walk through that door
No way to discern
What lies in store
Until you turn the handle
